::(Babcock 1803) | |||
Remember now, remember thy Creator in the days of thy youth; | |||
Before the evil days come, and the years draw nigh, | |||
In which thou shalt say, I have no pleasure of them. | |||
Before the sun shall be darkened, | |||
And the keepers of the house shall tremble, | |||
And the sound of the grinding shall cease. | |||
When men shall rise at the voice of the bird, | |||
And all the daughters of music shall be brought low, | |||
Because man goeth to his long home, | |||
And mourners go about the streets. | |||
Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was, | |||
And the spirit shall return unto God that gave it. | |||
Let us hear the conclusion: | |||
Fear God, and keep his commandments, | |||
For this is the duty of man.}} | |||

{{vs|1}} Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, | |||
:while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, | |||
:when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them; | |||
{{vs|2}} While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain: | |||
{{vs|3}} In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, | |||
:and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened, | |||
{{vs|4}} And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, | |||
:and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, | |||
:and all the daughters of musick shall be brought low; | |||
{{vs|5}} Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, | |||
:and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire | |||
:shall fail, because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets: | |||
{{vs|7}} Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: | |||
:and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. | |||
{{vs|13}} Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: | |||
:Fear God, and keep his commandments: | |||
:for this is the whole duty of man.}} | |||
